So much S’more: Spruce up the classic campfire treat

Do you remember the gooey goodness of símores? Itís been a while since Iíve had the pleasure of stacking together some of these tasty treats, and Iíd say itís about time to revisit them. Just the thought of símores brings back fond memories of roasting marshmallows at summer church camps and Girl Scout outings during my youth.

But, you donít have to be a kid to enjoy símores. You also donít have to limit yourself to the classic ingredients. While graham crackers, Hershey bars and marshmallows will always be a winning combination, there are some untraditional collaborations out there that will knock your socks off.

Below, youíll find two recipes for revamped símores as well as other pairing ideas. But, there are plenty of other fantastic concoctions waiting to be discovered. So, get your campfire started and get creative.
